Stress indicators for frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers

Evidation Health

About the Project

Using wearable, survey, and biomedical data from healthcare workers measured during the pandemic, we aim to identify variables indicative of stress such as sleep patterns, heart rate, PTSD, etc. We hope that our findings will give insights into how wearable technology can help detect stress in this population. The features we used primarily came from wearable and survey data such as the Oura Ring, Daily Stress Measure, PTSD, Adverse Childhood Events (ACE), and Demographics datasets that were provided from Synapse database. We built two models: Logistic and Mixed Effects. The mixed effects models work well for models capturing stress within participants and the Logistic Regression was used to narrow down significant indicators of stress.
